Kia
Ora whanau!!
So
the week was a little slow. Elder M and I both agree that we should be in
a cleaning phase for our area so we spent quite a lot of time planning. Like a
lot of time. The rest of the time we spent trying to visit the people on our
ward list and all the former and potential investigators previous missionaries
have found for us. I'm excited for where it's gonna take us. Elder A and I
did the same thing in Omahu and once we finished (which happened to be when I
left) they started finding investigators and having baptisms! Haha I'm just
hoping I get to stay for the flood of work that's gonna come in from cleaning
and updating the area book.
On
Sunday in Sacrament meeting, Bishop spoke to us about keeping the Sabbath
day holy. He is such an incredible man. Two things that he said really stuck
out to me. He devoted some of his talk to his daughters. He told them that
they're gonna keep getting better at netball. They are gonna get older and a
coach will want them to play on their team. The games will be on Sunday. They
need to decide now to say no. He told us that if we work on Sunday or play
sports, we might be rich or famous or well known but we're slaves to our money
and sports.
The
other thing that I loved is that, like he said, we might have money or fame if
we play or work, but if we keep the Sabbath day holy, we're special.
I
love you all!
Love,
Elder
